A bank receipt, with an abbreviated upper copy and a fuller lower text, recording that Pasis paid the eparourion land tax on the garden of Isokrates for year 30. The payment of 4 drachmas, followed by another 4 drachmas on the 15th, was made to the assayer Dioskourides and the banker Artemidoros in the presence of Asklepiades, Dion's agent. It probably comes from the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

Year […], […] 17. Pasis, for the eparourion of the garden of Isokrates for year 30, […] drachmas. Year […], […] 17. Pasis has paid to Dioskourides, assayer, and Artemidoros, banker, in the presence of Asklepiades, agent of Dion, for the eparourion of the garden of Isokrates for year 30, 4 drachmas; on the 15th, another 4 drachmas. […]

The eparourion was a tax charged per aroura on garden and orchard land, paid in money; the term has no exact English equivalent. The document survives in two versions on the same sheet, an abbreviated upper text and a fuller lower text.
